Hi folks,
After running dry for a while, , my water pump has packed up.
It is in the tank, secured through the top of the tank by the pipe fitting, but the power cable seems to simply go through a rubber grommet in the top of the tank.
I haven't tried to remove it yet, as I'm wondering if I need to find & disconnect the other end of the power cable & feed it all through the hole in the tank, to get the pump out ?
Hope I've explained that right. Does a new pump come complete with a cable sealed into it ?
I dont know what make of pump as I can't see it very well. The MH is a 2006 Knaus Sun Traveller.
We have had to change our pump. Just cut the cable before it goes into the tank. Then just couple the new pump cable to your old feed cable via a host of cable connectors on offer. Make sure the joint is made water tight with tape.
Mine went while we were in France when we got back home we called at our dealer Camper UK they put a new one on (covered with warranty) so i bought a spare . I asked the lad fixing it if he would show me how to do it. He put them crimped attachments(male and female) on outside tank so if it goes again i will just crimp two fittings to the new pump cable, push them together then thats that hopefully

Dealgan you don't need to do that you just cut the cable this side of the water tank (dry side) then put your crimp attachments on then thread your new pump cable up through the tank then put your crimps to that then push them together .Hope that makes sense

Hi dealgan, Just a thought, You don't need to necessarily buy a Whale pump, there are others on the market which cost considerably less than 'the big boys', if my Thetford toilet pump is anything to go by. Thetford pump cost is anything up from £30-00, while the identical unmarked pump cost me £14-92 at The 12voltshop.co.uk check them out before you spend excess ££££'s Jack & Patty, Cornwall
Hi dealgan, your photo shows the type of pump I was telling you about in my earlier letter. Unmarked, but identical to the more expensive models and does the job for about half the price. Jack & Patty, Cornwall
